Collin Creek Mall Revitalization Project

Revitalization is on the way for Collin Creek Mall.

Great news for Plano! Redevelopment efforts are underway as part of a planned $1 billion investment to transform the Collin Creek Mall in Plano, Texas, into a multi-use development. This development will have multifamily residential, retail and entertainment projects, with the creek as the centerpiece of the project. The project is projected to run approximately $1 billion. This is building on the momentum of the revival in the downtown Plano area which boasts restaurants and shops.

Dreien Opportunity Partners is is the redeveloper behind the project, led by CEO Sam Ware. Ware acquired about half of the 100 acres he is eyeing at Collin Creek Mall, leaving him four more parcels left to purchase. Dreien is the developer of The Campus at Legacy West and Parkland Hospital.

The current 93-acre site has Sears, JC Penney and Amazing Jake’s Food & Fun as its anchor stores. The mall has more than 50 empty storefronts. Dreien wants to acquire an additional six acres on adjacent parcels and would like a major corporate tenant in order to begin redevelopment. In the short-term, Ware plans to bring in temporary tenants and will also make some operational changes to the mall befor redevelopment begins. The Dallas-based Gateway Planning is designing the master plan, which could possibly include a bike trail system and connection with Richardson’s CityLine.

This is great news for south Plano and the downtown Plano area. This will be another fantastic option for housing, shopping, entertainment and fitness!
